Abstract:
A computer-implemented system may include reception, from a user interface client application, of a user interface request conforming to a user interface component model, translation of the user interface request from the user interface component model to a business object model, execution of interactions associated with the translated request with a backend service layer, the interactions conforming to the business object model, determination of business object node changes and business object property changes conforming to the business object model and corresponding to the interactions, translation of the business object node changes and the business object property changes to user interface data changes and user interface event property changes conforming to the user interface component model, and provision of the user interface data changes and user interface event property changes to the user interface client.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for dynamic and hybrid representation of data structures. A computer program product for representing a data structure includes instructions to cause a processor to receive information associated with the data structure, and determine how to represent the data structure as one of a tree representation, a breadcrumb representation, and a hybrid of a tree representation and a breadcrumb representation. The product is tangibly stored on machine-readable media. A method for representing a data structure includes representing the data structure as a hybrid of a tree representation and a breadcrumb representation.
Abstract:
According to one general aspect, a method of retrieving data entities from a backend data device may include maintaining a data model of data entities employed by a user interface. The data model may include a hierarchical relationship between a leading data entity and at least one child data entity. The method may also include authorizing, with an authorization device, when retrieving the leading data entity. The method may include instructing the authorization device that data retrievals of subsequent data entities are to be authorized based upon the authorization of the leading data entity. The method may also include retrieving at least one child data entity of the leading data entity without providing additional authorization credentials.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system may include reception of an instruction to create an association for an element of a UI component model, determination of a first business object model of the association, determination of a second business object model of the association, definition of foreign key parameters associating an attribute of the first business object model with an attribute of an element of the second business object model, reception of an instruction to bind the element of the UI component model to a second attribute of the element of the second business object model, and creation of metadata in the UI component model associating the element of the UI component model with the second attribute of the element of the second business object model, the metadata comprising the foreign key parameters.
Abstract:
A computer-implemented system may receive and store first metadata defining a view of a user interface component, the first metadata conforming to a user interface view model, receive and store second metadata defining a controller of the user interface component, the second metadata conforming to a user interface controller model, receive and store third metadata defining data of the user interface component, the third metadata conforming to a user interface data model, and execute a framework to provide the user interface component to a client based on the first metadata, the second metadata and the third metadata.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for populating one or more computer applications with data. The method includes storing events, automatically selecting one or more events from the stored events, and sending the selected one or more events to a computer application. The events are selected automatically in response to a start-up of the computer application after an occasion when the computer application does not run. Each event specifies an operation that the computer application performed and one or more data objects involved with the operation. The events are sent so that the computer application can produce updated results even when the contents of the data objects have been changed when the computer application was not running.
Abstract:
A system and method for modeling properties of data and events of a business application is presented. The system include a user interface frontend system that displays a user interface, and a user interface backend system that hosts a business application that generates the user interface for display in the user interface frontend system. The system further includes an enterprise service framework comprising one or more data processors that define one or more properties of data and/or events related to the business application, and model each of the one or more properties as a data field of the business application. A dynamic properties calculator includes one or more data processors that access a set of transformation logic representing data transformation rules for each of the data fields of the business application, and apply the transformation rules to the data fields that represent the one or more properties.
